You ordered directly from LC? I thought you had got your Velvetines via Urban Outfitters?

I did. However, Utopia, Red Velvet and Salem were the first colors I bought and I got those shades directly from Lime Crime.

Oregon is a no sales tax state. Which makes me wonder how she can collect taxes shipping out of California and have returns coming into Oregon. Seems fishy to me.

Please do Vande! Also if any of your other site passwords match LC watch your other accounts and any cards stored on those accounts. Its been a huge nightmare!

I don't think I set up an account. I only have accounts set up with The Mac and Nordstroms website because I do most of my makeup shopping there. The more I think about this mess it pisses me off. :doomed:

You ca be incorporated in one State, operate out of other states, and still collect taxes. Taxes are paid by the consumer not where the business is incorporated but based on where the customer lives in relation to where the business operates. Example, once upon a time there were no Sephoras of any kind in Ga. So when I ordered from them I did not pay taxes. The second they opened one I began to pay taxes. Take a look at infomercials or those "But Wait! Act now and you get...." Commercials. Notice in the small print they will list the States (often the list shows 2-3 or more states) that must add taxes to their orders (ex. NJ, CA, and DE). The reason that commercial requires those consumers to pay taxes is because the company has or uses warehouses in those states and therefore for tax purposes have a physical presence. If in any way a company has a physical or "ghost" presence (in the case of incorporating in a state that you don't actually intend to have a physical brick and mortar presence) dictates if the residents of that state must pay taxes for goods purchased in that state IF there are State taxes for that State.

I completely understand but when the consumer pays taxes and you have a return to a no tax state you dont have to include the orginal paid taxes to the department of revenue in California . You would report to the Oregon DOR. I just learned this from doing my business taxes.

If you are physically operating in multiple States or you are selling in multiple states (even if you are a sole proprietorship) then you're supposed to collect either sales tax or "use tax" for customers in required states that you sale to. It gets a lot more complicated than can easily be explained, but yes...if you fit under the State definition of having a physical or measurable presence in the state you are indeed required to collect. The Nexus measure comes in to play to help determine the collection requirement. It's not just the fact that Oregon is a no sales tax State. Unfortunately, a lot of business find out the hard way if an audit occurs and they weren't properly advised in detail about their businesses tax collection obligations as it applies to multiple states and their presence.

This is good learning!!! Thank you! I am an LLC based in and all orders shipped from Washington State and I was told that if I were to do business or even have product shipped or returned in Oregon I would not have to worry about the sales taxes just file an end of the quarter with sales revenue. Is that true? It makes me want to look deeper so that I don't run into issues later.

In your case the info is correct. You aren't dealing with a situation where you are based in one place and have other locations in various states. You appear to only be shipping product out to customers in various States but you do not have any actual presence (ex. warehouse, brick and mortar store, employees based in different states representing the business in that state....).

Isn't Paypal supposed to have an additional layer of protection? That's one of their advertising points in their recent TV ad spots. Let's hope this doesn't spread to a lot of PP users. Damn shame you can't trust that your info will be 100% safe with anyone anymore
